Elon Musk‘s lawsuit accusing AI powerhouse OpenAI of violating its charter to function as a charitable organization was unanimously rejected by a federal jury.

The nine-member jury on Monday decided that Musk’s allegation against OpenAI and execs Sam Altman and Greg Brockman claiming a “breach of charitable trust” was barred by the statute of limitations. Musk also had accused Microsoft, a major OpenAI investor, of “aiding and abetting” OpenAi’s breach of charitable trust; that claim similarly was found by the jury to be barred by the statute of limitations.
